Connecting Redundant Power System
To install an RPS, proceed as follows:
1 Power down by disconnecting the AC power cord on
the Switch 2000 TR.
2 Connect an RPS cable assembly to the RPS connector
on the back panel of the Switch 2000 TR.
3 Connect the other end of the RPS cable assembly to
the RPS connector on the back panel of the RPS unit.
Connecting to the Serial Port
The Switch 2000 TR serial port settings are set to:
■ Character size—8
■ Parity—None
■ Stop Bit—1
■ Baud Rate—9600
Terminals connected to the Switch 2000 TR must be
configured to these same settings before you can
communicate.
Connection to the serial port can be direct for local
management or through a modem for remote man-
agement.
For more information on the serial port console, refer
to “Setting Up the VT100 Console in Chapter 3.
Connecting a VT100 Terminal
To connect a VT100 terminal directly to the serial port
on the Switch 2000 TR you need a standard null
modem cable. Follow these steps:
1 Connect one end of the cable to the serial port on the
Switch 2000 TR and the other end to the serial port
on the VT100 terminal.
2 Ensure that your terminal is configured to the appro-
priate settings listed above.
